Important taxes were to then be versed with the abbey.

Palaiseau, shared field

In 1262, the lord of Palaiseau died, holy Louis gave his Jeanne daughter in marriage to the Brown one, which became lord of Palaiseau. This family remained on the field until the 15th century, date on which Jacques the Brown one died without descent.
